2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hintz's reliability and talent go a little underappreciated in Dallas, where the Stars' balanced approach to roster-building makes him one of an ensemble rather than a leading player. Still, he had 28 goals and 67 points over 76 games in 2024-25, and that was a bit of a down year, as he missed the 30-goal mark for the first time in four seasons and also fell short of 70 points for the second year in a row. The encouraging factor is his 17.5 shooting percentage, which is high compared to most players but is right in line with career norms for Hintz, who hasn't shot under 15 percent since his rookie year. A full year of Hintz alongside Mikko Rantanen is also enticing, as the two Finns flashed some chemistry in the playoffs and should benefit from a training camp together. Read Past Outlooks
Signed an eight-year, $67.6 million contract with the Stars in November of 2022.
Unlikely to return in first round
Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Tuesday that Hintz (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the Wild, and he's unlikely to play in a potential Game 7, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hintz had already been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against Minnesota, and it seems unlikely that he'll return at any point during the Stars' first-round series. It's not yet clear whether he'll be in the mix to return at some point during the second round if Dallas advances.

While Hintz maintained his top-line role in 2023-24, he wasn't quite as effective as usual. The 27-year-old posted 30 goals and 65 points over 80 regular-season contests, including 19 power-play points, but that meant he missed the 70-point mark for the first time in three years. Part of the dip in production was due to a better supporting cast -- Hintz's line had previously been relied on to carry the team's offense, but the signing of Matt Duchene and the emergence of Wyatt Johnston gave Dallas a balanced offense. Hintz is a critical factor in all situations, and while the team still has strong depth, it lost more than it gained this offseason, particularly with Joe Pavelski's retirement. Hintz always carries a high shooting percentage, so another 30-goal, 70-point campaign is a reasonable estimate for his production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning Friday?
Hintz, who is on injured reserve due to an illness, is expected to be ready to play Friday versus the Avalanche, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
ANALYSIS
Hintz has not played since he suited up for Finland at the Olympics. He missed his fourth straight game Tuesday versus the Flames, but it looks like his absence is coming to a close with the Stars returning home. Hintz should regain a top-six role with power-play time once he's activated from IR.
